La traduzione inedita della Götterlehre (1791) di K.Ph. Moritz presenta il processo mitopoietico degli antichi attraverso il racconto delle origini del numinoso e del suo articolarsi ekfrastico nelle grandi figurazioni mitiche del mondo greco-romano. Sullo sfondo del soggiorno in Italia (1786-1788) e della feconda amicizia di Moritz con Goethe, il saggio introduttivo illustra i presupposti teorici del peculiare itinerario estetico di un'opera di mitologia classica concepita come Dichtung e codificata da una originalissima e universale Sprache der Phantasie, linguaggio figurale emblematico che rinvia alla dimensione iconica del testo con il ricco repertorio di litografie su disegno di Carstens ispirate ad antichi cammei e gemme della Dactyliotheca lippertiana e della collezione Stosch.

The unpublished translation of Götterlehre (1791) by K.Ph. Moritz presents the mythopoietic process of the Ancients by means of the tale of the origins of the numinous and of its ekfrastic structuring into the great mythical representations of the Greek-Roman world. In the background of Moritz's visit to Italy (1786-1788) and of his fruitful friendship with Goethe, the introductory essay illustrates the theoretical premises of the specific aesthetic itinerary covered by a work of classical mythology conceveid as Dichtung and codified by a very original and universal Sprache der Phantasie, emblematic figural language that refers to the iconic character of the text with the rich repertoire of lithographies based on drawings by Carstens, inspired by ancient cameos and gems of Lippert's Dactyliotheca and the Stosch collection.

Based on new documents, especially von Siebold’s correspondence (including letters to his wife Taki), written advice and draft treaties which were placed in the public domain in 2002 by the Brandenstein-Zeppelin family, the author argues that such is their significance a full re-evaluation of von Siebold’s advisory role vis a vis the United States, Russia and the Netherlands in particular, both before and after the successful opening of Japan in the 1850's is now justified. This new study challenges the conventional Western scholarly view that the key figures involved in the opening of Japan were confined to the US Navy’s Commodore Matthew Perry, and the diplomats Townsend Harris of the US and Rutherford Alcock of the UK. A close examination of the new sources suggests otherwise and also puts von Siebold’s agenda to ‘save’ Japan from being overtaken by what he referred to as the colonial and commercial ambitions of the West’s great maritime nations in a new light. The author also takes pains to debunk the long-held view that von Siebold was a Russian spy. Even so, it is accepted that von Siebold remains a controversial figure whose role was more often than not ‘tinged with considerable selfish aspirations and a belief in his personal infallibility’.

The life of Philipp Jaffé (1819-1870), from his youth in Posen; his studies with Leopold von Ranke and career - as a close friend of Theodor Mommsen - at the pinnacle of historical scholarship in Berlin, first at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica and then, after his feud with Georg Heinrich Pertz, with his unprecedented 1862 appointment, while still a Jew, to a Berlin professorship; and on to his baptism in 1868 and suicide in 1870, was a life of transition between East and West and between Judaism and Christianity - and a life of devotion to scholarship, of loneliness, of success and of frustration. Forgotten today, except by medievalists who depend on his numerous editions of Latin texts, Jaffé was a central figure in the heydays of German scholarship. His career illustrates the working conditions of such scholars, their friendships and feuds, and also the limits that hemmed Jews in and the ways they could be overcome. This volume documents Jaffé's life, accomplishments, and struggles, and also offers insight into his soul via more than two hundred of his letters (in German) - about half to his parents in Posen and half to colleagues around Europe, especially Pertz and Mommsen.

Das Werk Philipp von Zesens (1619-1689) wurde in den zurückliegenden Jahrzehnten editorisch gut aufbereitet, von der Frühneuzeitforschung aber bislang in seiner thematischen Breite noch nicht hinlänglich erschlossen. Diese Lücke sucht der Sammelband, der die ausgearbeiteten Referate einer im Herbst 2006 in Basel ausgerichteten Tagung enthält, zu schließen, indem er Zesens Werk in einer großen Fülle von Aspekten neu beleuchtet und neben seinen dichtungs- und sprachtheoretischen Innovationen vor allem auch seine Stellung in den zeitgenössischen Wissensdiskursen in den Blick nimmt: Zesen wird nicht nur als Dichter und Poetologe, sondern auch als Naturphilosoph, Mythologe und als Politiker vorgestellt; sein Werk wird komparatistisch in neue Zusammenhänge gestellt, und vielfältige Quellen seiner Streitigkeiten mit der Fruchtbringenden Gesellschaft werden erstmals zugänglich gemacht; das Projekt einer kommentierten Neuedition von Zesens lateinischem Coelum astronomico-poeticum wird vorgestellt und Zesens Versuche einer "Selbstnobilitierung" werden umrissen.

The textual monuments of Greco-Roman antiquity, as is well known, were a staple of Europe’s educated classes since the Renaissance. That the Reformation ushered in a new understanding of human fate and history is equally a commonplace of modern scholarship. The present study probes attitudes towards Greek antiquity by of a group of Lutheran humanists. Concentrating on Philipp Melanchthon, several of his colleagues and students, and a broader Melanchthonian milieu, a Lutheran understanding of Pagan and Christian Greek antiquity is traced in its sixteenth century context, positing it within the framework of Protestant universal history, pedagogical concerns, and the newly made acquaintance with Byzantine texts and post-Byzantine Greeks – demonstrating the need to historicize Antiquity itself in Renaissance studies and beyond.
